What I'm expecting is for you to behave like the gentleman I always thought you were.

About This Quote

When I met you, I had an assuring feeling that you would act like a gentleman. If you could respect me enough to maintain the honor I had shown you for yourself, then I knew you would respect other people in your life. But this was not to be. Instead, I soon discovered that you were not the man that I thought you were.

You seem to think that if you can beat or win at anything, you are successful. Unfortunately for me, there is no winning in life. Life is about working together with others, giving and receiving support and support comes from respect.

You don't respect me so get out of my life.
